I Have a Fit On Order by shneor

Tried to get AAA pricing, but there won't be any at least for awhile. But the dealer ordered one to my specs (base manual). How much? I don't know yet, but it will be priced at MSRP (plus delivery, tax, license, etc.). The dealer did not ask for a deposit.

April 20? by bostonjazz

I recall that April 20 has been one of the rumored dates for the Fit's arrival (on the lots?).
 
We called our salesperson at the dealership (where we put down a deposit quite a while back) and they had still not received any more information from Honda - neither the dates NOR the pricing.
 
For those of us registered in the "Society of Fit," Honda sent out a marketing e-mail that mentioned at the end:
 
"...download new wallpaper and stickers so you'll be ready when the Fit arrives on April 20, 2006"
 
So, I take this to be a "semi-official" arrival date.
 
The next question is when/how soon pricing information will be available.

Why is Detroit ignoring this rush to efficient high quality
cars? I see Scions everywhere and Honda is late to the party with the FIT.Ford offers nothing like it (low 20 mpg).GM had Daewoo build the AVEO but with cheap as the objective. The Caliber is stripped when priced like the FIT
(13k-14K).The last American car people went ga ga over was the PT cruiser and gets low 20 mpg.Now the lots are full of them.

I think you are right, although until we have our Ride and Drive things will be typically Honda mum.

Cruise Control by hpmctorque

The basic Fit is adequately equipped for my needs, except that it lacks cruise control. Can cruise control be ordered as a stand alone option, or is one compelled to upgrade to the Sport model to have this particular feature?

This has been an ongoing question people have in the forums. There has been no information indicating that it will be available. I hear you could get it installed aftermarket, but the cost will be high especially if you want steering wheel controls. But it wont be available through Honda without upgrading to the Sport.

Fit Pricing by jmurman42

I don't see Fit pricing posted, so I'll post what I've received from Honda. If it's a dupe, please don't beat me over the head with it.
 
Base manual $14,400
Base automatic $15,200
Sport manual $15,720
Sport automatic $16,520
 
The prices above include the $550 destination fee.

Why? by joedirt

Why would anyone pay anything near $16,000 USD for a car as small as the Fit, when you can get a much larger, safer, and nearly as fuel efficient car for about the same price?
 
I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I really don't get it.

Maybe if you think of the Fit as a Mini Cooper with 5 doors instead of 3 it makes the price easier to swallow.
 
Consider that a Kia Rio5 is nearly $16k with automatic. So maybe a loaded Fit for $16k is not so outrageous.
 
However, it is more than I would pay for a car in this class. I don't need to have the sharpest-handling entry-level car or cleverest cargo area. But a base Fit with a little discount (ha!) wouldn't be out of the question.

Exactly Backy, joedirt should be asking the Mini Cooper owners this very question. Joedirt, I'll answer your question with a question of my own: have you ever driven a go cart?
